The one I have at the stand I want to hunt that day

Used to be all climbers or lock ons. Box stand 90% of the time these days because 90% of the time I have a kid with me. I hate hunting out of a box stand. But they are great for kids. And to kick back and drink beer in, of course.

lock-on / ladder stand

I used to be climber man, I'd climb anything and would go way high.
Now that I'm older I prefer the comfort of a box stand where I can move around etc etc drink beer if I want

cajuncommander's "one wit nature" comment sums my issue nicely, ironic that I'm not comfortable in box stands or enclosed ground blinds due to a lack visibility and hearing while they provide the most comfort...

100% boxstands on our property. I'm old and lazy.
I had a friend come hunt with us last year and he said "y'all aren't hunters, y'all are sitters"
I told him "no, we're killers"

Lock-on
Posted on 10/26/16 at 9:08 am to Melvin Spellvin
I just like to be comfortable. Box stands can be comfortable, climbers can be too. I grown to not like tripods and ladder stands. I get fidgety and move around a lot and want to get down earlier on morning hunts. I will still hunt tripods and ladder stands, but I dread it sometimes. My legs and back get restless.

At my AR club we get 3 claimed stands with a little territory around them. Mine are 2 box stands and an open tripod. I can shoot enough deer out of those but get bored sometimes because to me just sitting and waiting in the same spots every year doesn't seem like actually hunting.
My favorite hunt last year was one where I had looked at GoogleEarth history in late 2014, found a crease in the woods from a timber cut 20 years ago, scouted it at the end of the 2014 season, found rubs, scrapes and trails, dragged a ladder through woods in the offseason and set in the right spot. I picked the right day to hunt it in 2015 and nailed a decent 10 pt (weird 4x6).
That patch of woods got clearcut over the summer, but luckily I had scouted another area late last season, found another good spot and will sneak in there with a climber at some point.

Box stands.
Posted on 10/26/16 at 9:30 am to Melvin Spellvin
An open stand of some fashion, but will sit a box if that's my only option.

all of the above. lock ons and ladders during bow season. box blind, climbers, and ladders during gun season. ive got too many stands and never put all of them out.
